In 1946, Branch Rickey, owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers, took a stand against Major League Baseball's infamous color line when he signed Jackie Robinson to the team. The deal put both men in the crosshairs of the public, the press and even other players. Facing unabashed racism from every side, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and let his talent on the field wins over fans and his teammates – silencing his critics and forever changing the world by changing the game of baseball.

" Jackie Robinson is one of the most significant athletes in baseball history. He was the first color player to play, and the film shows what he went through in his first career year in the major leagues. Chadwick was great at portraying Jackie Robinson. The film shows how life was back in the old days and how different the past and the present were. Overall, the film was good and should be acknowledged more as one of the great baseball films."
